Profit motive Resources

At what point did healthcare become about the less about what’s best for the patient and more about the business of delivering care and maximizing revenues? It’s easy to blame the insurance companies (and they certainly deserve their share of criticism), but the profit motive is certainly alive and well with healthcare delivery professionals. Patients are overbooked and herded through waiting rooms. We get very little time with the actual doctor/dentist and it often feels like they are seeking the shortest/easiest route to a diagnosis.
